Ask A VC: General Atlantic’s Brett Rochkind On Spotting Startups That Have IPO Potential

0

In this week’s Ask A VC episode, General Atlantic Managing Director Brett Rochkind joined us in the studio to talk about international investing and more.

Rochkind, who makes growth-stage investments on behalf of the firm, talked about how he evaluates whether a company has the potential to be public. For background, he has helped lead General Atlantic’s investments in Alibaba, Renren, Box, Appirio and MercadoLibre. Rochkind refers to the “three M’s” as his basis of criteria (a hint — one of the M’s is market opportunity).
